sydneysider1978 Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Hey All, I've been on a website for a couple of weeks and it's been quite interesting so far. I met a guy for a drink on Friday night and had a really good time, we had loads in common, even some very unusual things. There were a couple of red flags for me relationship-wise and good looking as he was he wasn't quite my type and I think the feeling was mutual. I would like to stay in touch though, as he was very, very smart and we had a good chat as well as a couple of really out-there things in common. I was thinking of sending him sort of "hey, I don't think we're right for each other but let's keep in touch" Guys - what would you think to this sort of message? Annoyed or think it was cool? How would you phrase such a message?

refurb Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 When I was doing the online dating, I had a few women send messages like that. I told them I wasn't interested in staying in contact. Two examples: 1) After three dates with one woman, she felt it was developing more into a friendship. We never stayed in touch because, although we had fun together, neither of really felt like putting the effort into it (we didn't know each other all that well). 2) i moved out the city and a woman didn't want to do a long-term relationship, but wanted to stay in touch. I didn't want drama in my life (staying in contact with someone I wanted to pursue), so I told her I couldn't do it. I have heard of people dating but just ending up as friends, but it's rare. You basically have to like each other enough to put the effort into getting together, but at the same time, not like each other in a dating-way. Kind of a rare set of circumstances. However, I would send him an email and offer it up, but don't be surprised if he doesn't go for it. I have a lot of respect for the women who didn't want to keep dating, but were up-front about it.
